About the business

Although our client has requested to remain anonymous, they are a company that provides pharmacy solutions for members covered by the MedBen Health Plan. They offer both in-person and mail-order services and also provide prescription discount cards.
Mexicode is already an established expert in healthcare IT solutions. We have completed several projects for companies in the pharmaceutical industry, so we have a good understanding of the specific details of this field.

Client expectations

The client approached Mexicode's team with several requests.
The first task involved:
  • Editing the main image of the website
  • Redesigning brochures for customers
  • Creating and adding QR codes

Additionally, the client requested that our team improve the layout and design of the website and refine the written content.

While working on these tasks, we identified that the website required a security audit. After discussing it with the client, the developer was responsible for addressing this issue.

Goals of the business

Our client’s primary goal was to improve the quality of their company’s website, a project that encompassed visual and textual changes. However, another important task arose–bolstering the website’s data security.

However, it’s essential to recognize that a website cannot achieve perfection if it harbors vulnerabilities that malicious individuals could exploit. Data breaches can damage reputation and cause substantial penalties, making data security of utmost importance. We identified multiple exposures on the company’s website and promptly informed the client. Consequently, the client added another objective – conducting a comprehensive security audit of the WordPress-based website.

Solutions

  • We thoroughly reviewed the entire website to identify and correct grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors.

  • Our team also uncovered a number of other issues, such as non-functional hyperlinks, problematic contact forms, and incorrect data types.
    After proposing solutions to the client, we made the necessary changes and proceeded to create a new website layout.

  • Mexicode's team conducted a comprehensive security audit of the WordPress platform and suggested numerous fixes and enhancements.
    We also presented the client with recommendations for further security enhancements.
